It has been about two years since the next-generation game console " PlayStation 5 " (PS5) went on sale in November 2020, and now that we are finally seeing more and more of it on the market, there are more and more opportunities to purchase it. The release date of PlayStation VR2 (PS VR2), which will be exclusive to PS5, has been set for February 22, 2023 (Wednesday), which means that PS5 will be required to play PS VR2 in about a month. However, even if you decide to purchase PS5, it will be a big purchase, and those who have not experienced it yet would like to experience the excitement of PS5 by actually playing it before purchasing it. If you haven't experienced PS5 yet, you may want to try it out before you buy it.
